Re-read it. He didn't use racist or hateful language. Quit being so over-sensitive. The world needs less people like you. Like 100% less.

what you said was racist. it wasn't a Gag.

How do you know he's not black? How was it racist? How do you know it wasn't a joke?
Shut the fuck up, bitch.

Probably because the 'Problems of the future' include $4 per gallon of gas, economic slumps, more Bush controversy, basically everything that's a problem now that's likely to get worse in the future.

At least, while the slogan was still alive.

I don't like it, it's kind of lame. We should come up with our own and have Mr. Fulp approve of it. Although I can't come up with shit other than some sort of parody something.

Shut up. It's the mods' job to worry about rule enforcement, not yours.

I liked being a future problem, but Tom probably wanted the "Everything by Everyone" slogan to attract more independent flash developers and generate a good message.

It's the only way out!

Newgrouns is place everything because of us it comes together as 1.

But in all seriousness, by keeping Problems of the Future, Today, it makes people who are against video games and such sound like they're right.

pointing out the obvious of an 08 user not being around when it was the motto, boy I remember those days.

Tom changed it because "The problems of the future, today" is the now official slogan for Global Warming.

In reality Tom said in an interview that the problems of the future today didn't really reflect what newgrounds is all about, even though i beg to differ.

For my next trick, I will need a condom and a volunteer.

Everything, by everyone. That is the perfect slogan for the current state of Newgrounds. Every shitty crap passes judgement, every newfag spams up the forums with their 'witty' comments. Sure, the mods are doing their work (most of the time) but it doesn't change the fact that everything turned to shit recently. But hey, I can't do much about it, so I'll better shut the fuck up RIGHT?
Bah, enough ranting. The old slogan is better.
Thank you for your time.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Money. Tom was able to make Alien Hominid for the consols and Newgrounds did a 180 and turned to shit.

I miss the days when this site represented the "I don't give a fuck about anything" people and not just another shit "everybody play nice" site.

The changes drove a lot of the older, funnier users away and now most of us O.G. Kats spend more time at other places where they don't try to market their site to 10 year old kids.
